A naval court-martial assembled on board her Majesty's ship Victory at Portsmouth on Saturday, and again by adjournment yesterday for the trial of Lieut. Frederick W. Inglefield, lately invalided from her Majesty's screw troop ship Tamar, on a charge of having been guilty of conduct unbecoming an officer in drinking intoxicating liquors to such an excess between the 12th of November and the 7th of December, 1863, as to produce illness, by which he was incapacitated for the performance of his duty on the 10th December, 1863. The prosecution failed to prove its case, and the Court, therefore, found the charge not proved, and acquitted Lieut. Inglefield.

In some places the facts are vastly different. I have lived a good deal in the South. The people there are of a class different from those found in the North. They are very difficult to deal with. (Hear.) They have, comparatively speaking, no de sire to improve; they will not enter upon any new line of improvement, I will give you an instance. I remember, on one occasion during the famine, when the people had no employment of their own, and no potatoes, nor was the seed attainable, I was passing a hut, in the roof of which there was a great hole. This was in a Southern district. There was some straw lying about the place, and there was a little garden greatly neglected, which was connected with the house. Well, I was struck with the utterly neglected ap pearance of the place and the number of facilities that were at hand for improving it; and I asked the man who was standing at the door, with a great big " lump of a son," as the people there would have said, doing nothing, " Why don't you do something to improve the condition of the ground and the hut for your family ? NB'77 that you are receiving relief without payment, yon should do some thing." Oh, bedad, Sir, what would you have me to do he asked in reply. I told him. He refused to dig his garden because the potatoes were gone; he refused to plant anything eke, because nothing but potatoes would do for Ireland ; and he refused to mend his hut because, as he said, that his father and grandfather lived in it, and he did ; not want to have a better house than they had. (Hear, and laughter.) After referring to several kindred matters, the speaker concluded amid applause. " The Ladies " succeeded on the list of toasts. Dr. CASSIDY responded to the toast in a humorous speech, which elicited much applause and laughter. The company separated, cheering for their munificent landlady. " Seahaw, Dec. 29, 1863. "My dear Mr. Wilson, —I have requested you to give the dinner, that you may have an opportunity of meeting the tenantry, and assuring them of my unfailing interest in their welfare. • "It has been a source of great disappointment and regret to me that my health prevented my visiting Ireland this year, and I trust and hope that I may be permitted to do so in 1864. But on this my friends may rely that, whether I am absent or with them in the Green Isle, the warm corner they occupy in my heart is ever the same, and will remain unchanged while life lasts. "After this assurance I must say a word or two on busi ness, and, in the first place, observe that it is a source of congratulation that, after three successive bad seasons, the injury to the grain consequent on the very wet season has been c )mparatively small, and the return is likely to be an average one. " The increase in the cultivation of flax is also satisfac tory, having risen since 1859 from 76 to 240 acres. But it it is to be regretted that in several instances a:proper system of cultivation has notbeen observed ; and I cannot comment too severely on the pernicious habit adopted of taking not only two, but in some cases three successive craps, thereby exhausting the soil, which in the end must prove ruinous to the tenant. " I would strongly advise the tenantry to study the in structions issued by the North-East Agricultural Society for the cultivation of this crop and the preparation of it for the market. A copy of this work will be supplied to each tenant on application, and from a perusal of it much valu able information will be derived. "I abandoned the giving premiums from finding it did not stimulate the mass of the tenantry to improve, and that 1 they were year after year awarded to nearly the same per sons • but as I am desirous of encouraging merit, 1 may , mention that the names of Joseph M'Cullen, of Stoney-hill, and Francis Carlisle, of Ballyvaddy, have been brought be fore me, the former as an instance of what good cultivation can do, and the second as having made wonderful exertions in improving his hause:and farm during the present year. " Several alterations are made, and are still in progress. in the sale or giving up of farms, and I think it would be well that the tenantry should understand that in every case where it is practicable, and the adjoining tenant has the means to purchase, such tenant shall have the preference of becoming the purchaser, and adding said farm to his original SHAKSPEARE CELEBRATION, holding. "I also observe with regret a diminution'in the quantity of stock on the estate, which should be avoided if passible, more particularly by those who have a portion , tt mountain land attached to their farms, where stock can bd raised with little expense or trouble. "I ant glad to hear the schools are tolerably well-attended and in a fair state of efficiency, with the exception of the one at Garron Tower; and I wish to impress upon the parents the loss their children would sustain it the Nal tonal Board withdrew the grant or reduced the salary of the master, as is now threatened, unless the average atten dance be increased. '• I cannot conclude without grateful words to yourself and Mrs. Wilson, expressing my sense of your kind feelings to the tenantry and your sterling devotion to me; and under all the regrets caused by my forced absence, I have the consolation of knowing that my tenantry cannot be bet ter cared for than under your fostering supervision, of which they, like me, have had the experience of 12 or 11 An adjourned meeting of the Shakspeare com mittee was held in the itooms of the SJciety of Arts, Adelphi, yesterday afternoon. Mr. George Godwin was unanimously requested to take the chair. _ _ _ Mr. HEPWORTH DIX )N, hon. tec., read the mi nutes of the last meeting, which ware confirmed. Mr. THEODORE MARTIN complained of the pub lication of the report in the newFpapers, and of its being put forward es the act of the committee, although an opinion was expressed at the last meet ing that such a document ought not to go forth to the public. It was gene:ally zuderstood that they were to adjourn till today for the purpose of consi- dering whether they should adopt it or not. How- years. " With all best wishes for your health and happiness, and trusting to your continued future improvements and advancements, I remain, dear Mr. Wilson, yours truly, " FRANCES ANNE VANE LONDONDERRY." [The reading of the foregoing letter was frequently inter rupted by the most enthusiastic applauie. Several times the whole assembly rose to their feet simu:laneously and ever, to his surprise, and he believed to the surprise of most others, it appeared in the papers with the names of the secretaries attached. (Hear.) Such a proceeding was an outrage upon all propriety, and was a breach of trust of the most serious kind oa the part of their representatives—or, rather, mis representatives. He did not know whether it had the sanction of the executive committee. It also appeared not as the draft report, but as the report of the committee. It was an outrageous act, and contrary to all precedent. It was a matter which affected the whole corporation, and it was for the general committee to say whether they would allow such things to go on. As he came there to advance and not retard matters, he begged to ask by whose authority the report was published. Mr. H. DIXON said that the report was read at the last meeting, and circulated for information. Mr. Martin must recollect that the reporters were present at the last meeting, and were able to take the report verbatim. Two of the reporters asked him for a copy, to save themselves the trouble of writing it out. Mr. MARTIN was not satisfied with the explana cheered right lustily.] The CHAIRMAN continued—Such is the letter I have received from your landlady, which, as regards Mrs. \V son and myself, however much we appreciate her ladyship .. ..' good opinion, I fear we do not merit such distinction. I - . . have endeavoured to act fairly towards her and her tenantry —(cheers)---and in doing so I have merely done my duty. The letter breathes much warmth of feeling towards you, and contains sound and practical advice, particularly as to the education of your children, the necessity and propriety of which no person in the present day will deny ; and I am sure it will be received by you in the same spirit in which it is given, as you cannot for a moment doubt the sincerity of the source from which it comes. (Cheers.) lam aware the district around Garronpoint school is thinly populated ; but I am of opinion a much better attendance could be kept up if parents would make the education of their children o paramount importance, instead of a secondary consideration. With respect to the remarks her ladyship has made as to flax cultivation there can be no question. In the directions given by the North-East Agricultural Society alluded to (copies of which I shall supply on application), it is ex pressly stated that "flax on no account should be grown oftener than once in five years, and ones in seven or ten years is considered safer ;" and recollect this is the matured opinion of practical men who have made the flax crop their study in all its branches. (Hear, hear.) To many of you these observations are unnecessary, as there are several places on the estate where the cultivation of this crop could not be excelled; but now that flax has become such an im portant article of consumption, some few practical hints may be of service to the generality of the tenants. I again thank you for the enthusiastic manner in which you have received this toast, and I now call upon you for one cheer more for that landlady whose most anxious wish is to hand down unsullied to posterity that banner on which is in scribed the feeling and charitable inscription of " Live and let live." • tion. Mr. TOMLINS said that the reporters could have taken it if they wished. Mr. MARTIN proposed, "That the report read at the last meeting of the committee be rejected, and that a special committee be appointed to prepare an address to be issued to the public, stating the objects contemplated by the committee, and therraeans by which it is proposed to carry them out:' The CHAIRMAN said that, in order to avoid dis eussion upon the question, and that they might proceed to other business, he would, on behalf of the executive committee, withdraw the report. (Hear, and No.) Mr. MARTIN replied that it must be publicly known that the report was published without the authority of the committee. A mere withdrawal did not meet the case. Mr. GRIJNEISEN thought it was a most irregular document which was sent forth. Mr. MARTIN was about to speak, when The CHAIRMAN said that they were not prepared to take any discussion upon the matter, as the re port had been withdrawn. Mr. MARTIN, however, pressed the first part of his motion, "That the report be rejected." If this was painful to gentlemen who sent oat the report, they had themselves to blame for it. Mr. ROBERT BELL seconded the proposition. Dr. WESTLAND MARSTON,' rose to order, as the report had been withdrawn. Mr. R. BELL said that the report not only did a great many things which they ought not to do, but left undone a good many things which they ought to do. (Hear, hear.) It was requisite that some steps should be taken to liberate them from such mistakes in future. (Hear.) They must reorganise the movement upon a totally different basis, or abandon it altogether. (Hear, and No.) Mr. DIXON pressed upon those present that there was some important business to transact. The meet ing was technically adjourned for the consideration of the report ; it was substantively adj aurned on the general transactiocs of the day. It was therefore extremely desirable that they should end the discussion. The course token was for the best, and he thought that it should be clearly un derstood that this movement was not at all hostile to the one in Stratford. (Hear, hear.) On the contrary, it was quite the reverse. He begged to move, as an amendment to Mr. Martin's proposition, that they pass on to the business of the day. Mr. CHARLES READE seconded the amendment, and in doing so said he for one did not think that the document was to have been sent out to the world, and it was unfortunate that it appeared in the columns of the newspapers. (Hear, hear.) He regretted that there had been imported into this The response was deafening. Dr. CASSIDY said—The toast which I have been re quested to propose is one that is sure of a cordial reception in Ireland, where the tenant-farmers are not only the most numerous class, but the chief source of the wealth and strength of the country; and I am proud to find, in the happy and contented faces of so many hero, that God speeds the plough in this district. (Cheers.) lam sure, too, my friends, that it gives you no small pleasure to find that the noble lady and good woman—(loud cheers)—who is pro proprietor of this estate, has your welfare at heart, and that, even when failing health prevents her attendance in person among you, she is not unmindful of your in. terests, and seeks to reach you with words of com. fort, of hope, and of advice, such as we have heard this day. (Cheers.) It is true that the ties which bind landlord to tenant on this estate are of no ordinary kind, as, for three centuries, you and your forefathers have been living under Lady Londonderry and her ancestors. (Cheers.) Yet it is not the less acceptable to find those ties distinctly recog nised, and a continuance of the personal good-feeling and hospitality which were wont to characterise the relations between landlord and tenant in the olden time. (Cheers.) My friends, we have had a great deal to contend with during a succession of seasons, by which, in the dispensation of Providence, much individual suffering and a heavy drain upon the resources of the country have been occasioned; but it is a mistake to suppose that the pressure has of late years been exclusively, or I might, perhaps, say chiefly confined to the agricultural interest. You must have seen the newspapers teeming with accounts of the difficulties with which the manufacturing classes have had to contend not only in England, but in this part of Ireland, a great many of which, I regret to say, have fallen under my own observation. However, the sun has shone out once more during the early part of the past year, and trade has revived, and, with the blessing of Providence, which in His mercy generally sends a succession of good seasons after a succes sion of bad ones, we trust that comfort and plenty will soon be diffused through the land. As men of brave hearts and firmness of purpose, it be' :heves us to look forward hopefully to the future, with Full confidence that a blessing will attend the efforts of lonest industry, and that they will not be left without tleir reward. (Loud cheers.) Dr. Cassidy concluded by ding the toast of "The Tenant Farmers." ',Lev. Mr. IV ADDELL replied to the toast, which was re ceiced with protracted cheering. He referred to the energy an doerseverance of Irishmen, and remarked that there were anotaliee existing between them and their landlords in solneparts of Ireland, The tenantry under the Marchioness WHERE CAN WE MEET AF I'ER THE The Marchioness of Londonderry and her', PANTIMINIES ?

The three 20 ton muzzle loading rifled guns manufactured at Lowmoor to the order of Captain Blakely, and success fully tested at Woolwich, for the service of the Russian Government, have been shipped in the Victoria Docks for St. Petersburg.

The Research, 4, 1,253 tons, 200 horse power, the first of the squadron of iron clad vessels now building from the designs of Mr. Reed, Chief Constructor of the Navy, was successfully undockel at Pembroke on Saturday, with the whole of her armour plating complete, and her engines and boilers on board. With her iron masts fitted and jury rigged, and all her armour plating on, and about 100 tons of ballast on board, the Research only drew 12ft. 2in., and when complete, with the whole of her fitments, crew, stores, and provisions, and ready for sea, she will draw less than 14ft., and will consequently be capable of entering any har bour in almost any part of the world. The Research is com pletely cased up to the upper deck with 41 inch armour, and will be a full rigged seagoing ship. According to existing arrangements she will leave Pembroke dock for Devonport on Saturday next, in charge of Captain H. Paul, assistant master attendant at that dockyard, and will there be fitted for sea with all possible despatch. A new plan has been adopted in the armour plating of the Research to prevent galvanic action, according to a system introduced by Mr. Reed, and the first vessel of the fleet of ironclads so treated. This consists in completely sheathing the armour plating below the water line with teak planking,which will have the effect of preserving the armour from all galvanic action and corrosion, and will enable the Research to be despatched on foreign service for a lengthened period withconfidence. She will carry only four guns, but these will be the 110 pounder Armstrongs, the arrangements for fitting which on board are now being carried out under the superintendence of Mr. Napier, from Woolwich Arsenal. The completion of the Research will be followed speedily by that of the Enterprise, which is somewhat less heavily armour cased than the former vessel.

(From the Belfast News-Letter.) Oa Thursday afternoon the Marchioness of Londonderry gave her annual dinner in the Town-hall, Glenlaugh, near Glenarm, to her tenantry on the extensive estate in which that village is situated, For a good many years back her ladyship has pursued this laudable custom, and she took advantage of the reunions to administer personally to her tenantry sound and philosophical advice on a variety of subjects, social and agricultural. The good which has thus been accomplished is incalculably great. The prospe rity, content, and general good character of the tenants are proverbial, and the manner in which the noble landlady recognises the relations which should invar,ably exist be twtrn landowners and their tenantry is too well known to need even a word of reference here. Suffice it to say that she cares for her tenantry with feelings strikingly akin to maternal instinct. Her exalted rank does not deter her from knowing her tenants personally, nor does she deem it beneath her to study agriculture and the resources of her estate for their benefit. Then, again, the education of their children is a matter which this noble lady regards as one of primary importance. Her solicitude for the social well being of the tenants developes itself in projects for their amelioration which none but one earnestly devoted to their interests yeould ever think ot. The 'wet sweetly sings, " Kind hearts are more than coronets." Here we have a union of these and a noble spectacle—the practical life of a great and good woman cherishing the noblest principles, and cuitivating the purest affections on behalf of a numerous tenantry attached beyond expression to her. And what has been the result of this fostering care ? Peace, prosperity, and contentment reign among the peasantry, and under Buell favourable auspices they have progressed and im proved rapidly. The commission of agrarian crimes on this estate would be regarded _pretty much as ra vages by Polar bears in the Torrid Zone. The tenants ap pear to appreciate their landlady's efforts on their behalf, and willingly take their important part in the development of her ably-conceived and well-considered schemes. Un happily, indisposition prevented her ladyship from attend ing the dinner which she provided with unprecedented magnificence, on Thursday. Instead of the much-looked for and able speech, a letter, which will be read with great in terest, was received from her. She took good care, how ever, that her princely hospitality should not suffer from her absence, and the dinner was both recherche and sub stantial. WiLes, whisky, and ale were supplied ad libitum. The arrangements, which were carried out under the super vision of Richard Wilson, Esq., the agent, were very com plete, and the comfort of the guests was subserved in every , conceivable way. The capacious hall was splendidly deco raeed with evergreens, mottos, flags, and a variety of de• vices. The Londonderry Arms was conspicuously exhi bited. Three rows of tables traversed the room lengthwise, save in one place, where a row next the wall was divided by a dais for the visitors not tenants, Seortly after one o'clock, about 250 well•dressed and evidently well-to-do tenants sat down to dinner. They repr eseated 22 town lands. To each set of representatives a special place was assigned, denoted by a small coloured haulier elevated on the table, and having inscribed on it the name of the town land. In this way the sociality of the festive scene was en hanced. The preparation of the dinner must have taxed to the utmost the resources of Mr. M'Callum, of the Londonderry Arms Hotel, who supplied it ; and it should be mentioned that he discharged his duty most creditably. 'rho following, among otter visitors, at tended and dined at the festive board so liberally supplied by the donor :—Richard Wilson, Esq., in the chair ; Rev. D. C. Courtenay, Glenarm ; Rev. Hugh Waddell, P.M. ; Rev. P. Starkey, P.P. ; Captain Wethered, Belfast ; Dr. Cassidy, Belfast ; John Townley, Esq , Drurinasole ; Wm. Orr, Esq., Ballymena ; Isaac Hardy, Esq., Carnlough ; Richard Halloran, Esq., Hugh Martin, Esq. The whole scene was characterised by great good feeling and jollity; each tenant was evidently in the very best humour with himself and every one else. The happiness of the company, however, was dashed with a universally fell regret at the absence of the dispenser of the hospitality. Mr. Wilson, the widely and deservedly-esteemed agent, did everything he could to make up for the marked want, When dinner had been disposed of, The CHAIRMAN rose amid much applause and said— Gentlemen, we are assembled here at the invitation of the Marchioness of Londonderry. (Cheers) Though deprived of the pleasure of her ladyship's presence, I hope 3ou will enjoy yourselves fully to-day. At the outset I should tell you that, when I was lately in England, Lady Londonderry expressed her unfeigned regret that indisposition had pre vented her paying her usual visit to Ireland, and that, sepa rated as she is by dist Ince, she still retains the warmth of feeling towards her tenantry she has always cherished. (Loud cheers.) As she could not visit you, she has desired me on this occasion to express her regret that she cannot be with you, and to wish you all a happy new year, accompanied with favourable seasons, good crops, abundant harvest, and remunerative prices, and above all she prays that the blessing of the Almighty may rest upon your endeavours, as without God's blessing all our labours are vain and futile. (Applause.) The speaker concluded by giving "The Queen," a toast which was responded to with all the honours. The next toast on the list was " The Prince and Princess of Wales, and the rest Of the Royal Family." In proposing it, the CHAIRMAN said—The Prince of Wales has now attained to the age when ho may be expected to enter upon the duties of active life, and has also united himself to an amiable and accomplished Princess, which union we hope may prove a blessing to themselves and to all around them, (Applause.) From our knowledge of the Prince, and the admirable way he has been brought up, under the unweary ing care and superintendence of the wisest and best of parents, we h ave e very reason to hope and expect that he will prove a comfort and stay to our beloved Sovereign, and that, with the advantage of her counsel and experience, he may learn to be a fitting successor to her whet, in the Pro vidence of God, he may become the ruler of this great and independent nation. (Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN then gave lt The Church and Clergy of all Denominations." This toast, he said, on all former occasions, when a meeting took place under similar circum stances, had been received with that unanimity and good feeling which should characterise every Christian assembly ; and he was sure it would meet with a similar reception on the present occasion. (Loud cheers.) Rev. Mr. Co'IIRTENA responded. He said he supposed that the the toast was devolved upon h of the greyest and oldest men present. the cause, he rose with much imbecause duty Whatever o f be replying was w oar, n a pleasure to reply. It was to him a most gratifying sight to see so many respectable fanners assembled to take part in the festivities provi ded b y their noble landlady. (Cheers.) When he looked a round him, he saw men of very d ifferent opinions sitting comfortably at the same table—a most pleasing sight. It was well that they had learned to forget their differences, and to agree as to the great common principle which should distinguish all Christian people — mutual forbearance. (Cheers.) One of the characteristic principles of his Church was forbearance and liberality, and that same principle was one of the conspicuous merits of which the noble Constitution under which we live was made up. (Cheers,) Refutees came to the countries for the home and the peace they had failed to discover in their own. The rev. gentleman, in the coarse of his observa tions, remarked that the clergy did much and should do more to promote peace and harmony among those with whom they came in contact. In conclusion, ho urged the tenants to continued co-operation in the attainment of these common objects. (Applause.) The CHAIRMAN —I now give you "The Army and Navy." In proposing this toast I refrain from using the stereotyped and hacknied expression about ;heir efficiency and readiness for duty wheusover and whetesover called, I think we will admit that. But without is the slightest detracting front thehigh character of the army,l may be per mitted to express nay opinion, that the navy is lot known or appreciated in the manner such a force deserves It is to this force we are indebted for our supremacy on thesea and the high rank we hold in the scale of nations. (Chews.) With out the navy where would that supremacy be ? The army is to be seen at every provincial town or place of conse quence, open to the view of the admiring gaze; but we landsmen see nothing of the navy unless on sone special occasion such as the late visit from the Charnel. Fleet afforded, when a specimen of the world afloat was tobe seen. I therefore say, if it was possible ,t o bring the nary oftener before the public, it would be more appreciated. 'Hear.) In addition to the present efficient state of the navy, there is another force little known in this country--I alludtto the Naval Reserve-;applause) —a force made up of vo bsateers from the several ports in Ragland, and paid for their Veek's drill. Government prudently has enrolled this force that, in case of actual necessity, it has it resort to to mar the navy. I lately witnessed a party of the Naval Restrve going through their exercises on board one of her MajesY'a vessels, and it was really won d e rful with what precision s ad despatch these recruits went through their manceavresin exercising a gun of some tons weights looking more likes bod of old well-disciplined Mao of war than raw recru i ts y Allow me, therefore, to propos e (Cheers.) y I he Arm and Navy, no forgetting the Naval Iteserve.''

He might sa that he was half a sa il or , because he had spent his young days upon the water. I n th e course of an able and witty s peech, which was repeatedly applauded, Captain Wethered o ld he esteemed it a great privilege to be present at that social meeting. It did one's heart good to see so many s o n g and joyful faces around the room. (Cheers.) They ba d all heard the kind expres sions of the sympathy and motherly feeling entertained by the Marchioness of Londonderry for them, and they could not avoid being deeply gratified thereby.

DIXON observed that then were two " parties in the committee where there ought only to - be one—(hear, hear)—and it was desirable that tle feeling should find expression in some form. He thought Mr. Martin had fairly put his case. During an irregular discussion which followed, Mr. PURNELL moved, as an amendment, "That the committee accept the withdrawal by the execu tive committee of the report issued by the secre taries." Mr. S. LUCAS could neither vote ter the resolu tion nor the amendment, although he was of opinion that the report ought to be rejected. He wds not prepe.red to pass nu indirect vote of censure, and cause the executive committee to resign. Mr. D. COOPER expressed tils opinion that there ought not to b 3 two parties, as the o:)ject was a common one. They wealii ba laughed at if they :et these petty Equanles interfere with thEir pro- „Tress. The CHAIRMAN then put Mr. Dixon's amend ment, when there appeared 27 for it and 26 against it. Several gentlemen demanded that they st3ould divide, which was done, but the two parties had to be taken before the actual numbers could be given, when there appeared 33 for the amendment and 31 against. It was consequently lost. Mr. OTTLEY seconded Mr. Purnell's amendment. Several gentlemen attempted to speak upon the amendment, and a somewhat irregular discussion arose, some contending that it was not in order to speak upon the amendment, and others that it was perfectly in order to do so. Sir J. PAXTON—It cannot be put without allow ; ing a discussion upon it. Ultimately the chairman put the original resolu tion, "That the report read at the last meeting be rejected,” when the numbers being 24 for and 27 against, there -were cries of " Divide, divide." A division accordingly took place, and after both sides had been repeatedly counted, The CHAIRMAN declared that there were 33 for it and 32 against it, and cousequently that the motion was carried by a majority of one. Mr. MARTIN, who said that he did so in no hostile spirit to the movement, then proposed the latter part of his resolution. It was desirable that inti mation should he given of what was proposed to be done, and whether £5,000 or £50,000 was required. Mr. BELL seconded the proposition. Dr. MARSTON referred to what the executive com mittee had done, and said that the list of names was a homage to Shakspeare. Dr. VAUGHAN ventured to predict that, if the meetings were to be of this complexion, their object was gone. (Hear, hear.) If the resolution were passed, the executive committee would resign, and they never could get the confidence of the country after that. (Herne) They would be looked at as a very Babel, Let them work together better for the future, Mr. MARTIN then withdrew his motion, in order to further the common object amidst applause. Dr. VAUGHAN suggested that the executive com mittee should appoint a certain number, and the general committee a certain number, to draw up the address. (Hear.) Mr. H. DIXON then made a statement as to the progress of the business. Arrangements were being made for holding a public meeting at the Mansion House, et which the Lord Mayor would kindly take the chair. He (Mr. Dixon), on behalf of himself and colleagues, utterly disclaimed anything like personal feeling in the matter. (Hear.) It was thought desirable that the following committee should be appointed to arrange the details of the meeting : The Lord Chief Baron, Sir Hugh Cairns, Sergeant Parry, Mr. Gruneisen, and Mr. Deputy Rced. It was also recommended that the following gentlemen should act as a committee for the purpose of considering the best form of a monument, viz., Archbishop of York, Duke of Devonshire, Earl of Clarendon, the Lard President of the Council, Pre sident of the Society of Autiquarie, President of the Academy ,President of the Suciety of British Artists, President of :he Architectural Museum, Master of Trinity, Professor of Sculpture, Royal Academy, David Roberts, Daniel Miens°, Clarkson Stanfi3ld, George Godwin. The council had also to propose the following programme :—" The 330th birth day of Shakspeare shall b 3 celebrated by laying the first foundation-stone of a memorial in London. The committee shall use its influence to procure the observance of Sa turday, April 23, as a general hOliday ; and. they propose to offer a gold medal, silver medal, and. bronze medal, for the best, second best, and third best poem on Shakapeare. The committee proposed that the foundation stone be laid at noon ; that an afternoon performance be given at Covent, garden ; that a Shakspearian performance be given at Drury-lane in the evening ; and that a grand soiree be held (by permission) in Westminster-hall, at which Slaakspearian books, prints, and otluir relics, may be exhibited." Members of the special committee were by that fact members of the council. Dr. Vaughan, Mr. Thee. Martin, Mr. Tom Taylor, and Mr. Shirley Brooks, were then appointed by the general committee to act with the executive committee. Upon the proposition of Mr. LUCAS, seconded by Capt. W. KNOWLES, the programme was accepted. It was understood, however, that, though the pro gramme had been accepted, the general committee would not publish it or act upon it until the address had been prepared. Mr. MARTIN said, if it were otherwise, he would not act. The meeting then adjourned until Monday. The Crystal Gallery, Egyptian Hall. The celebrated firm of J. Defries and Sons, crystal and bronze chandelier manufacturers, of 147, Houndsditch, city, have become the lessees of the Dudley Gallery, Egyptian Hall, Piccadilly, with a view of placing before the publio specimens of their unrivalled workmanship in table and other glass ; and in order to render the splendid apartment appro priate to their object they have renamed it the Crystal Gal lery. A more gorgeous sight than that which was thrown open to the public gratuitously to-day has certainly never been seen in the metropolis, and it is to he hoped that the enterprising firm will depart from their present intention of merely keeping it open for a limited term, and allow it to become a permanence, because without doubt it is one of the most splendid and artistic exhibitions ever seen in this or any other country. The object, we believe, which led to the formation of the collection was the exhibition of one of five magnificent candelabra just completed for the Rajah of Secunderabad, and this surprising and wonderful specimen of British art stands towering in the centre of the gallery to the height of 22 feet. It is composed of three tiers or stages of cut and coloured glass, carrying 156 lights supported by arms and pillars of ruby, topaz, emerald, and sapphire tines, and surmounted by an imperial crown of the most gorgeous beauty. To give a detailed description of this rare and beautiful combination of crystals would be an impossibility. Nothing of the kind has ever been seen before, therefore comparison is out of the question. Around this une ' quelled specimen of British skill and ingenuity hang noble chandeliers of every variety of form and design, in silver, glass, ormulu, and bronze ; whilst at the extreme end of the gallery is placed one of those magnificent prismatic mirrors, which excited the wonder of the thousands who visited the Exhibition of 1852. The present collection is not confined to chandeliers and candelabra, but there is a display of porcelains, china, table and dessert services, in cut glass, of the most exquisite and costly descrip tion. One of the grandest objects in this department is the Crimean tankard, which is really a wonderful speci• men of fine art. Here, again, we have jugs, goblets, and tankards, elaborately engraved with subjects copied from the Elgin marbles; others most artistically and delicately jewelled : others, again, engraved with some of the most striking scenes, illustrative of those classic stories which have bEen reproduced in the poetry of our own time. Amongst the dessert services in glass, there is one remark able for its chasteness and beauty—v;z., that p:aced at the extreme end of th 3 middle table. It will be instantly re cognised by the brilliancy of its cutting. A finer specimcdsn . of crystal m .nufacture has certainly never been exhiblitf The tazzas and vases, again, form another very could d rl on in ly g feature in this extraordinary exhibition, which ncdouuneare have been produced by the most refined tas p te ef a ries on e. d r for outlay. We have to congratulate Aldssr!.ste_ e not, h their appearance westward, where, if we nit k and delight. manufactures will create qt wonder. ONE OF MR.
